Intern Researcher- Software Systems Engineering/LLMs

Our team has an immediate opening for an Intern Research Engineer.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct advanced research to explore and apply state-of-the-art LLM and AI techniques to improve software engineering processes, including requirements analysis, system design, modelling, and automated software testing.
• Develop novel frameworks and methodologies for integrating LLMs into software engineering workflows. This includes applying prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), self-consistency methods, reflection techniques, search and planning algorithms, and evaluation metrics to enhance system performance and decision-making.
• Design and implementation of techniques that combine symbolic reasoning with generative AI models, aiming to bridge the gap between data-driven and logic-based approaches to problem-solving in software systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams of researchers, engineers, and product experts to integrate AI-driven solutions into real-world software systems engineering challenges. Communicate research findings through academic publications and industry reports.
• Stay at the forefront of LLM advancements and related AI technologies, identifying opportunities for innovation and contributing to the development of next-generation software systems engineering tools and techniques.
